We hypothesized that converting 3D MRI localizer (AutoAlign Head) images to MPRAGE-like images with deep learning (DL) would be beneficial for diagnosing and researching dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed to establish and evaluate a DL-based model for generating MPRAGE-like images from MRI localizers.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Brain MRI examinations including MPRAGE taken at a single institution for investigation of mild cognitive impairment, dementia and epilepsy between January 2020 and December 2022 were included retrospectively. Images taken in 2020 or 2021 were assigned to training and validation datasets, and images from 2022 were used for the test dataset. Using the training and validation set, we determined one model using visual evaluation by radiologists with reference to image quality metrics of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), and Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS). The test dataset was evaluated by visual assessment and quality metrics. Voxel-based morphometric analysis was also performed, and we evaluated Dice score and volume differences between generated and original images of major structures were calculated as absolute symmetrized percent change.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Training, validation, and test datasets comprised 340 patients (mean age, 56.1\u2009\u00b1\u200924.4\u00a0years; 195 women), 36 patients (67.3\u2009\u00b1\u200918.3\u00a0years, 20 women), and 193 patients (59.5\u2009\u00b1\u200924.4\u00a0years; 111 women), respectively.
